Tips about the Power of Love and Respect

Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
Research reveals that during marital conflict a husband most often reacts when feeling disrespected and a wife reacts when feeling unloved. We asked 7,000 people this question: When you are in conflict with your spouse or significant other, do you feel unloved or disrespected? 83% of the men said "disrespected." 72% of the women said "unloved."
Though we all need love and respect equally, the felt need differs during conflict. For example, when a woman feels unloved during conflict, her natural reaction is to respond disrespectfully.

And when a husband feels disrespected during conflict, his reaction is to respond unlovingly. We call this the Crazy Cycle: "Without love a wife reacts without respect, and without respect a husband reacts without love."

The message the wife is trying to send in her negative reaction (criticism/contempt) is, "I don't feel loved by you right now." The message the husband hears is, "I don't respect you, buster, unless you change immediately." When he reacts either in anger or by stonewalling, the message the wife hears again is, "I don't love you."

Things get crazy because this feeds itself. Her disrespect feeds his lack of love. His unloving reactions feed her disrespect. Round and round it goes.

The good news is that this cycle can be broken. Isn't this exciting? What couples want is love and respect, and the key to long-term marriages is the attitude and action of love and respect. Quoted from www.loveandrespect.com

 Now, how does Yandy.com fit into all of this National Marriage Week business?
Well, I think that having a fun, adventurous outfit for guys and gals to surprise their spouse with can keep things interesting as the years of marriage grow.

Hi Gorgeous,
Thank God it's Friday!
The weather in Arizona is amazing-there is so much to do here when it is 70 degrees and sunny with a light breeze.
Sounds sort of like Huntington Beach California where Noel Sweeny started Addiction NV Cosmetics!

The photo on the left is of the Dual Commitment lip stain and lip gloss. I love a lip stain and this one really works! I put it on bare lips, no primer and no lip liner-just a free hand drawing of the stain and let it set a moment. Then when my lips were dry I put the gloss over it.
The color lasted for hours! Through eating, talking, and slowly sipping my Thursday night viewing party of POI-that's short for Person of Interest with Jim Caviezel. The gloss is smooth, light weight and not sticky. Perfect for now, Valentine's day-and what ever you have coming up in your life.

Now-speaking of Valentine's Day-see pretty kitty in the picture? If you are any where in Arizona during this amazing weather, I insist you take a drive down historic Route 66.

Just outside of Kingman on Route 66 is the Unique Boutique full of gifts for any occasion-such as Valentine's day!

I love cats and this one would look amazing in a garden or patio collection!
Now-for the how to video on creating easy updo's with UNITE Go 365 hairspray and Expanda Dust! If you don't have some, you will want to get some!
